I only tip for sit-down restaurants where an actual servers brings me my food
everywhere else I preemptively give the stank face as I mash the 'no tip' button on their payment system
I usually just round up to the next $5 amount to make the numbers clean, don't really care what the % is
so a $16.83 bill gets a $3.17 tip
this makes it easier to plan a meal budget, like "ok I'm spending $20 on a burger and fries today"
But you should tip extra for delivery drivers too
They get paid by their employer. I don't pay their wages, their employer does, and if they don't, they should find a better employer
So you actively support businesses that pay their employees less than living wages? And you won't provide that wage directly to the worker?
Wow, you're an oblivious privileged asshole that actively contributes to other people's suffering.
